Furthermore, at load time Tomboy learns the guid by looking at the .note filename, which could be edited by the user even though we discourage it. Thus, the guid field could really be any arbitrary string as long as it's unique in the collection. In the upcoming 1.1 version of the API, I would like to put some restrictions on at least the length of the guid. Snowy currently assumes a max length of 36, which is not really correct either, but is at least compatible with notes generated by U1. Making that a firm part of the spec in 1.1 should make things easier for DB-based note clients.
